Lullaby by Birdland, that's what IAlways hear when you sighNever in my wordland could there be ways to revealIn a phrase how I feel
Have you ever heard two turtledovesBill and coo when they love?That's the kind of magic music we make with our lipsWhen we kiss
And there's a weepy 'ol willowHe really knows how to cryThat's how I'd cry on my pillowIf you should tell me farewell and goodbye
Lullaby by Birdland whisper lowKiss me sweet, and we'll goFlying high in Birdland, high in the sky up aboveAll because we're in love
And there's a weepy 'ol willowHe really knows how to cryThat's how I'd cry in my pillowIf you should tell me farewell and goodbye
Lullaby by Birdland whisper lowKiss me sweet, and we'll goFlying high in Birdland, high in the sky up aboveAll because we're in love

Tenderly by Jose James, Ella Fitzgerald, and others



Ella: The evening breeze caressed the trees tenderly The trembling trees embraced the breeze tenderly Then you and I came wandering by And lost in a sigh were we The shore was kissed by sea and mist tenderly I can't forget how two hearts met breathlessly Your arms opened wide and closed me inside You took my lips, you took my love so tenderly Louis: The evening breeze erased the trees tenderly Trembling trees embraced the breeze tenderly Then you and I came wandering by And lost in a sigh were we Oh the shores were kissed by the mist tenderly Ba-Bop Be-den I can't forget how two hearts met tenderly Ba-ba- Du-dut Your arms opened wide and closed me inside You took took my chops, way from pops tenderly Ba-bu tenderly Tenderly Oooh, oooh Oooh, uuuh Ba-bu Du-zu Ba-du-ba-zet oh yes
